Snake River Fishing Report

A couple things to note for Anglers on the Snake River this fall:

-On Sept. 25, the bureau plans to drop flows from Jackson Lake Dam from 2,000 cfs to 1,525 cfs in three increments. The next day, the bureau will drop flows to 1,125 cfs, again in three increments.

-Over the next four days, flow reductions will happen in two increments and be less drastic. The bureau intends cut flows to 900 cfs on Sept. 27, 675 cfs on Sept. 28, 500 cfs on Sept. 29 and 350 cfs on Sept. 30.

-There will be no flow reductions on Oct. 1, which is a Sunday.

-The final reduction of the drawdown will happen in two increments on Oct. 2, when the bureau plans to make the final cut to 280 cfs.

-Moose Boat Ramp will close October 2nd

Wednesday, September 27 through Sunday, October 1: The ramp area will be accessible for both private and commercial use and will likely be one-way with the possibility of short delays. Traffic control measures will be in place. Users should take extra caution and pay attention to signage and construction personnel.
Monday, October 2: the Wilson Boat Ramp access road and ramp area will be closed. It will be an active construction zone until work is completed or weather shuts down construction for the season.

The Snake River flows continue to hold stable at 2,000 cfs discharge from Jackson Lake Dam. Flows are stable, clarity is great and the Snake is fishing in true late summer fashion! Water temperatures are in great shape for our trout friends! Hecuba/Snake Drakes are out, smaller Green and Grey Drake patterns work best. Mutant Stones still out and about and are creating some great foam dry fly fishing during the early morning periods . Pair Drake Parachutes and Chernobyl Patterns paired with droppers have been working very well. Look for the start of our fall hatches of Mahoganies and BWOs to kick into high gear. With summer crowds thinning out, look for the Snake River to shine during the late summer and fall fishing periods!
